We love heading off to beauty shows to get a sneak peek at the latest and greatest in beauty trends and techniques. This past weekend's America's Beauty Show in Chicago was no different. We sifted through the old news of feather extensions and Brazilian treatments to scoop the up and coming spring hair trends. Here's a round up of our favorites from this year's ABS:

Cropped Curls

Above the shoulder ringlets made a bold statement on the show floor in a variety of different styles from blunt bobs to loose, asymmetrical layers.

Undershaves

Sure, it's an aggressive statement to make, but we love aggressive-ESPECIALLY on curlies! Undershaves, or shaving a bottom section of the head, were seen in all different textures, hues, and styles.

Coppertones

Step aside highlights, move on over balayage! Saturated, rich, all-over coppertoned hues are back in a major way as a force to be reckoned with!

Big Braids

Regal braids reigned supreme on the show floor of ABS. We loved how they were popping up in a variety of innovative placements
